- Emergence of ST131 carrying carbapenemase genes, European Union/European Economic Area, August 2012 to May 2024Publication . Kohlenberg, Anke; Svartström, Olov; Apfalter, Petra; Hartl, Rainer; Bogaerts, Pierre; Huang, Te-Din; Chudejova, Katerina; Malisova, Lucia; Eisfeld, Jessica; Sandfort, Mirco; Hammerum, Anette M.; Roer, Louise; Räisänen, Kati; Dortet, Laurent; Bonnin, Rémy A.; Tóth, Ákos; Tóth, Kinga; Clarke, Christina; Cormican, Martin; Griškevičius, Algirdas; Khonyongwa, Kirstin; Meo, Marie; Niedre-Otomere, Baiba; Vangravs, Reinis; Hendrickx, Antoni Pa; Notermans, Daan W; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Caniça, Manuela; Manageiro, Vera; Müller, Vilhelm; Mäkitalo, Barbro; Kramar, Urška; Pirs, Mateja; Palm, Daniel; Monnet, Dominique L.; Alm, Erik; Linkevicius, MariusAnalysis of 594 isolates of sequence type (ST)131 and its single locus variants carrying carbapenemase genes from 17 European Union/European Economic Area countries revealed acquisition of 18 carbapenemase variants, mainly in ST131 clades A and C. Most frequent were (n = 230) and (n = 224), detected in 14 and 12 countries, respectively. Isolates carrying have increased rapidly since 2021. The increasing detection of carbapenemase genes in the high-risk lineage ST131 is a public health concern.
